Hi Kaya!

Do you have a major? What are your favorite classes? What class would you be reading Selling Sickness for?

I'm doing very well, thanks. And you?

I'm not sure I'm going to do a full blown journal on this grow but who knows since I do have the info recorded. But not very many pictures but here are a few...

The first picture they are 6 days old. The top three are all bag seed and the bottom three from left to right: Big Bud, Unknown seed bank, Fem PPP

The second picture they are 10 days old
The third picture they are 16 days old but both have the same line up.

Starting with left-center and going clockwise:
unknown seed bank, Big Bud, PPP, and the rest are all bag seed.

Ok all caught up now... =]

Email you should start an new journal with the new grow and pics... =]

And of course post the link here... =P

EDIT >>> Also wondering if next time you change your res could you post some pics of the inside of that rainforest... With and without water... My hydro shop said that the mist the rainforest creates is really good... I would like to try to recreate that if possible...

I like building my own systems... So rewarding... =]

I'll be working on a new journal and thanks for the encouragement!

Here is a link to GH rainforest instruction manual - but there is an exploded view of the rainforest. i'll also try to take pictures before the root system gets too entangled! if you do decide to build something like this - drop me a line cause i would change some things...

wowwow

is that the bigbud taking off like that?
It is the "Unknown strain" but from a seed bank - so it could be more big bud - i really don't know but the stems are already getting thick and even the sickly yellow looking bag seed plant has 4 nodes and is less than 3 inches tall! The biggest one has 6 nodes already and is about 4 inches tall.

Hey natmoon! long time no see - hope all is well with you!

I'll start another separate thread for the new one - just gotta get my shit together first :mrgreen: I'll add a link once i get it going and add it to my sig file too.

the rainforest has its problems but getting these seedlings to grow quickly isn't one of them!

thanks for dropping by!

What i am really interested in is the "Vortex Sprayer"... =]

Pretty cool ideas in that contraption... I would like to see it in action... I am confused as to how the pump/spinning motor work at the same time...

I took a look at the vortex at my hydro shop today but could not figure out how it sucks the water up... ??

And so what would you change... ??

the motor is also a pump that draws the water up the tube like a straw - the motor stays stationery and the internal tube spins - the jets of water squirt out the holes towards the top. It works pretty slick!

I would put a drain on the bottom of the reservoir. I would give myself more room (make it a 4 plant instead of a 6 plant) and somehow - there has to be easier access to the reservoir - right now you either have to leave a plant out completely or take it out to get to the reservoir and after the roots get entangled this is all but impossible.

hey email whats happening nice grow with that PPP it looked good. Anyways my grow is finally maturein and I need some help they have been flowering now for 31 days under a 400 w HPS 12/12. My nutes I have been trying to keep them at 1100 but they keep jumping up. But my question is how long should they be in flower and when do you know they ready. After that how do you cure your buds whats the best ways.

IDK if you remember but I had asked you for help early on in my grow and it was much appreciated.

Yes I remember and i'm glad i could be some help :joint:

From my understanding, if your PPM is jumping up then you are using too many nutes. Use the feeding programs as a guideline, if your PPM drops you can add nutrients, if it rises then back off.

Not to be flip, but they have to flower until they are done. It can take as little as 8 weeks or as much as 16 (though most are right around 9-11 weeks).

I will post my favorite links to consult for determining when to harvest, harvesting, drying and curing - if these links do not answer your questions (though i think they will) then feel free to ask me here or PM me....

those are all good points... I will keep them in mind the next time i build a system... I am still unsure HOW the motor/pump sucks in water... ?? And without taking it into the pump housing itself i imagine... Curious... =]

I guess i might just have to buy one before i can reverse engineer it... Maybe the ppl at my grow shop will let me play with theirs whenever they change plants and the gords that are growing in it now are taken out...

Question cant you just lift the whole lid off a little to get into the tank... Like you would do with a home built rubbermaid tub res... ??

I was thinking about making the rez level indicator into a multi functional part in my next system... Like it would have a drain at the bottom utilizing the hole in the bottom... It could also be used to fill the rez so it might have a wide mouth at the top that can be open and closed...

Also though of making it in some way that it had easy access for a tds meter but i guess you could just take a quick sample from the drain... Still i would be nice if it had a place that you could just unscrew and stick a meter in for quick check on the solution...

Any way those are my ideas... =]
